1.02.21.WDLXTV_LIVE-pTHC-MNV4 (Early XMASS UPDATE FIXED)

[oudoulj]

Uploaded fixed xmass version at first post.
Anybody that downloaded before please download again and upgrade.

Thank you zmiki !
I installed your new firmware (not the brand new fixed version you've just posted on Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:51 am) and I was able to see the red "repeat mode" icon at the bottom left of my TV

Unfortunately I had some problems downloading subtitles through the MNv4 feature (they show up correctly filtered by language but won't write on the disk).
I thought I was missing writing permissions on my hard disk (a problem I already had in the past) so I went to ds-lite in MNv4 in order to play with the RW settings of my hard disk but the ds-lite menu wouldn't pop up when hitting the Enter key :-/
On the first page of this thread, you talk about DSLITE.dslite in ./ : I couldn't reach such a path (./) in Telnet

I'll have to start fresh tonight : reset to factory settings and install your 6:51 am FW from scratch to make sure my folders/files/settings are clean.

./ is a relative path to the current directory. Most likely you will find DSLITE.dslite in /conf/ for this firmware

@oudoulj
download latest version. lot of fixes.
DSLITE.dslite is in /tmp/conf (when you telnet to wdtv) but you must edit it an add RW toggle as mad_ady pointed in earlier post.
I xmount my NAS with rw and nobrl options and have no problems. It is cifs(samba) share for NFS you should search forum for correct options.

Please report your feedback about this firmware. Thanks.

I'm having a hard time on the toggle RW/ds-lite part
First I wanted to reset my WD TV Live to factory settings.
I tried different methods found on that forum where many people seem to fail to reset their box.

Code: Select all

rm -r /conf/*
reboot

or

Code: Select all

rm /conf/wdtvext-plugins
sync && sync && reboot

or

Code: Select all

rm -r /conf/*

followed by a disconnection/reconnection of the power cable (instead of a reboot)

Even tried to press the reset button (left side of the WD) with a paper clip !
Nothing worked and I kept coming back to my PsychoTHC modded firmware, with the USB key unplugged at all time !

I gave up and loaded the brand new FW (1.02.21.WDLXTV_LIVE-pTHC-MNV4 (Early XMASS UPDATE FIXED)) on my USB key and flashed my WD.
After that, the ds-lite menu was accessible in the MNv4 and I played with the Mount "Movies" option in it.
But the subs wouldn't write on my hard disk.
So I edited DSLITE.dslite is in /tmp/conf liked suggested.
I used FileZilla to download it, I modified the ro into rw in it and reuploaded it. (I couldn't edit DSLITE.dslite directly the File Manager in WEC because it told me Warning! File is not writable!)
Since then the ds-lite feature cannot be open in MNv4

So I created a .wdtvext-plugins folder and downloaded the Tools plugin.
I dumped a toggleShareRW.script in /tmp/media/usb/USB2/4EC5-B799/.wdtvext-plugins/Tools/scripts and rebooted once again.
Still no sub wants to be written.

Note that I have a net.mounts at the root of the USB key with the following line it :

Code: Select all

xmount 192.168.0.2:/nfs/Public/SharedVideos SharedVideos nfs rw,vers=3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384,hard,proto=udp,timeo=7,retrans=3,nolock,addr=192.168.0.2|

which worked with 1.02.21_WDLXTV.COM_WDLXTV_LIVE-0.5.1.4 + MNv4

That's discouraging

My mod of firmware is intended to be used as it is. No need to download anything, so no need for .wdtvext-plugins directory.
you should copy net.mounts file to /conf so you do not need a stick with it connected to wdtv

Code: Select all

this is DSLITE.dslite file with toggleshare script

Now you need to copy toggleShareRW.script to /conf and change premissions on it (chmod 755 toggleShareRW.script)
Also check mount table your share should have 3 mount points
/tmp/media/usb/SharedVideos
/tmp/media/usb/USB1/SharedVideos
/tmp/mnt/"UUid"
these should change from rw to ro or ro to rw with each run of the script.
hope I helped

Tip of the day: If you want to wipe your config remember to save to flash before rebooting!!

Code: Select all

rm -r /conf/*
config_tool -s
reboot


[jazebov]

Do i must edit power events (to set Enhanced standby) on this latest xmass version?

Like i did in previous version, KERNEL 2.6.22.19-19-4 #7.


EDIT: No need to edit, i check. It's ok.

Tried that but after the reboot (USB key unplugged) I still had the PsychoTHC interface for instance.
I can't go back to the very first factory settings, the ones I had the day I took the WD out of the box ! Well, nevermind on this part...

OK, so I started over.
0 - Reset (or so to speak) with recliq's commands above.
1 - Left on the USB key only the 3 files of your FW (wdtvlive.bin, wdtvlive.fff, wdtvlive.ver), flashed the box with it (result : 1.02.21 WDLXTV_LIVE-0.5.1.1) then unplugged it.
2 -I copied my net.mounts to /conf
Its content (apart from the comments) is :

Code: Select all

xmount 192.168.0.2:/nfs/Public/SharedVideos SharedVideos nfs rw,vers=3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384,hard,proto=udp,timeo=7,retrans=3,nolock,addr=192.168.0.2|
xmount 192.168.0.2:/nfs/Public/SharedMusic SharedMusic nfs
xmount 192.168.0.2:/nfs/Public/SharedPictures SharedPictures nfs

(lines that proved correct in the past)
3 - I chose the English and French languages in the WEC in order to obtain a en.fr.sublang file in /conf (easy !)
4 - I copied DSLITE.dslite with ToggleRW script in it to /conf
5 - I copied toggleShareRW.script into /conf and chmod it to 755 with FileZilla.
Its content was first the default one that is :

Code: Select all

@mounts=( );

Later on, I changed it to :

Code: Select all

@mounts=( '/tmp/media/usb/SharedVideos' );

(which doesn't look right since I unplugged my USB key)

Either way I was never able to pop up the ds-lite menu content from the MNv4 bar (or maybe once but never with the ToggleRW option listed).
And never able to download a subtitle either
I'm not sure what the 2 other lines you suggested to add in toggleShareRW.script are for
/tmp/media/usb/USB1/SharedVideos : I don't have a USB key plugged anymore
/tmp/mnt/"UUid" : /tmp/mnt only has one folder called apps and that is empty. What is UUid ?!

The difference with my USB key formerly connected it that I don't have "Local drives" under Videos : I now have to choose Video > Network shares > MYBOOKWORLD > Public > SharedVideos to be able to display subtitles (subtitles files already on my hard disk)...

Any clue why the ds-lite menu wouldn't pop out after those modifications ?

@oudoulj
sorry for your troubles but lets try sort it out.
1. if you want your xmount to show under Video/USB1 there are two ways:
simpler one is to have usb stick connected to WDTV
the other possibility is to enable fakeUSB on WEC system VirtualUSB drive (that way you do not need any USB sticks connected to WDTV).
This should solve problem of your share dir not showing.

2.dslite not showing could be that it has wrong EOL char if it is edited in windows notepad.
solution is to download Notepad++ editor edit the file in it and on menu edit check that EOL conversion is set to UNIX format.
Filezilla also must have an option when transfer to change EOL char when transfering from windows to linux(WDTV)
also change permisions to 755

3. now on rw and ro which started all troubles
first in WEC you should under system tools run mount table
in windows that opens there is a list of mount points
/tmp/media/usb/USB1/SharedVideos is the one that should be rw for subt. download to work
post what you get there for further help
